GD is the part of campus in which we show our skill, leadership etc.
Every person born with different skill with different nature. Also communication is important to our day-today life. So it important.

I think Gd may be part of cumpas but it is not necesarry always if he/she have good techanical but Gd not so if he /she is desqualify based on Gd so this is not wright because Gd show only good communication but we can't assume good telent thats all.

Yes GD should be the part of Campus Placement because , it is only the way from which the various trait of the candidate can be judge.....when there is large no of candidate,
GD can play a good role in initial screening of the candidate for the personnel interview.GD can chek the candidates various skill for eg :- Initiation Skill, leading Skill , Speaking skill etc...besides that agrassiveness of the candidate can be judge by the GD . Hence i belive that GD must be the part of campus placement.

Group discussion is not at all use to be there to measure your communication skills in campus recruitment because for that personal interview is there. GD is all about checking your confidence level, checking your skills to convince other people with your ideas, checking whether you are extrovert or introvert, checking your presence of mind, checking your patience etc. It is all about how will you contibute to the development of your company. And even if you are going to be offered a technical position without a voice process still you should be able to express yourself. Because whatever you have done in technical project you should be able to express it in meetings and conferences. If you are unable to express whatever you have done then you will not be having any or very less growth. Morever you chance will be seized by other people who are having good communication skills and average technical knowledge.

Although GD is an essential part for checking our communication skills but mostly it happens that even if we are having communication skills and knowledge we are dominated by others because speaking capability differs for each person and we didn't get chance to express ourselves.

And as far as I think it is time consuming process too. Our communication skills can be checked at the time of interview, the way we answer and talk is enough to test our communication skill.

Hi friends. You all gave very fine opinions on this topic. Well in my opinion gd should be the part of campus placement because in campus several students are there. And company will pick the bests of them. So some strategy should b there. Like we gave the enterance exams for pursuing B-Tech so that college could get best students. In same manner gd is necessary for knowing the ability of student to coommunicate to others because in future and in this era we will have to face the brilliant compititors. Only technical knowledge is not efficient we should know that how to convence the client to finalize the deal. For this we must know that how can we attract them with our way of talking. See, we can learn the work in company from 1st day after getting job. So if we have a fantastic communication skill nd ability to express our views in front of others with confidence and with politeness and with fluency. We can do everything. But technical skill is also important :).

Well Every thing has pros and cons. We can be against GD for a technical interview /job but we cannot completely ignore it .There are some benefits of GD ..like testing of communication skills, leadership qualities , aptitude etc which are important if you are in management level .
So i think we should include GD in the selection process BUT the overall selection must cover all the aspects written test ,GD and PI .No one should be rejected because he did not perform in GD only .

I think that GD should be the part of campus placement because in today's competitive world a candidate has to be a Diamond which is cut from 72 edges so one cannot get stuck to its academics. He has to prove himself in other curricular activities one should should be good in other curricular's such as soft skills, and he should posses qualities like a good leader and a good team worker, adaptable,etc. and these qualities can be judged in GD.

GD should not be a part of campus placement...because there are people who are extremely good at their respective subject but nervous in gd...if we reject such person on the basis gd performance it would be injustice to them...not only that we will loose an extremely good candidate. Thats the reason it is said that halo effect is bad. If there is a sales job or finance or any other area apart from bpo companies area of interest should be revenue generation not the language.

Hi friends, as per me GD is an essential selection process only in case BPO/KPO or marketing sector, where it based on voice process. But its not necessary in case of any technical based positions like developer. Because the student who is well in his technical knowledge might be weak in his English. If we reject him before knowing his tech skill just because of fluency, we may lost an good technical person whose contribution is essential to Industry.

In my opinion GD should not be a part of campus interview activity. Basically the purpose of GD is to know the activeness of the candidate and his quick response ability. But while practically working in a business environment, it is never necessary to take spontaneous decisions. So rather jumping on each other giving a concluded answer after reading different materials and books is preferable.

If we see the positive impact then it includes a person's communication skill, listening skill n leadership qualities. But if we see negative aspect then GD is not useful for those candidate who doesn't know how to speak English well n they have technical knowledge a lot but don't have communication skill so they are eliminated.

Like leadership qualities, Communication skills, Listening skills etc. All these are included in GD. So we can choose the right person through GD.

Straight forward in my view GD is one of the session that brings out the once exposure with the society as well as with the current issues. But main flaw in GD is some times a technically skilled person are eliminated in this round AND SOME TIMES GIVING CHANCE TO person who has less technical ability. But in present competitive world we can get success only when we have talkative power therefore I conclude that GD IS IMPORTANT.

In my view GD is not required in campus selections. Because some people will speak very loudly and some people will speaks low voice. So who speaks louder and very fast English that persons will be selected and others not. And they are not giving the chance to others. So everybody should get a chance then only there interpersonal skills and how they are expressing about the topic will be focused.

Consider any type of firm, technical or media related, they all want something common in all of their employees. And that is the "field knowledge", be it programming prowess for a software developer job or sorting skills for a Croupier in a casino. But along with that they also need employees who can create a work culture, or at least sustain the present one and not harm it. Nobody wants an employee who is very good at technicalities but doesn't know how to behave in a group. With teamwork as the main success mantra all the companies need "team man" rather than geeks for their jobs because whatever is to be done is not to be done individually but through collaboration with fellow employees. In that case each team is bound to have divides, discussions and issues they need to resolve together. And during that case if there is a man who doesn't know group behavior then its obvious that he will disrupt the team's harmony and soon find him in a place where no one wants to be in the same team with him. This is why GD is important. In short just to check whether a person has the decent behavioral aspects and can speak without spoiling the team's harmony and present his ideas GD is important. As for the case with a person having less technical knowledge but eloquence over English getting selected, there are technical interviews held for almost every firm before they hire their employees. No firm expects their employees to be only eloquent and do nothing.

GDs don't depict your analytical skills in any manner, they most of the times turn into fish markets, so the whole purpose of debating on rational basis is lost in playing devils advocate with each other.

GDs in any manner don't simulate a scenario similar to corporate board meetings where qualities such as good listener and analyser are more important than being a good expresser.

They don't even check your sociability or innovativeness.

One thing positive about a GD if it doesn't turn into a fish market is that it can give you a chance to make more logical and sometimes conclusive arguments compared to others. So it shows how you can express your ideas in whatever little time you get in the fish market or otherwise.

It also sometimes show how much you know about the environment you are in and how effectively you can express it.

A company can turn very successful only if it can bring in a technological break through or a innovation in technology. A technological change is the one that will project the company with distinct stature in the global arena. For such a thing to happen it needs technically sound employees aware of the modern trends and innovative in their thoughts. So the major concern in this case is on the technical aspect of the employee and this Group discussion is in no way going to test his technical proficiency.

Moreover group discussions are normally held to check the sociability and.

Expressibility of the candidate. Being human, Socializing is the inbuilt ability or virtue of every human, there is nothing to check in it. So the very need/necessity of the GD is questioned here. !.

May be in jobs involving customer relations involving lot of human interaction GD can be kept as a selection criteria, in all other cases its relevancy is questionable.

It is a very interesting topic, as it portraits the views that we have about a GD. GROUP DISCUSSIONS must be apart of the recruitment process, as it brings out most of our soft skills. In the selection process first our aptitude skills are tested then in the interview our technical skills can be tested. But the perfect forum to test our soft skills is the GROUP DISCUSSION.

As an IT professional we cannot sustain in the race with technical skills alone, we need some extra skills known as people skills or soft skills.

So how are these skills brought out during a GD is? First our communications skills are noted by our language and grammar, secondly are we a good team player is tested through how well we listen and respond to our team members, third our leadership skills - by initiating the GD, encouraging the team members to bring out their ideas, then others like are we able handle stress etc.

Well if you're talking about technical recruitment a person needs to have communication skills just to express his/her thoughts not more than that. and this thing can be judged easily by a personal interview.

what we can get to know about a person by GD?
-how good listener he/she is
-how fluent he/she is
-how confident he/she is
-how he/she represents thoughts

Now in technical knowledge a person needs to have complete knowledge about a concept or aspect in that case any body has enough confidence to represent that.

Only a little fluency needed in english. (Most of the part is filled with technical terms)

Nobody needs to make a comment with half knowledge so no contradiction needed.

so why to go for GD in technical process?

Well what I think is GD must be a part of campus placement. An organisation needs group effort to fullfill its criteria or work which in turn requires good communication skill,teamwork and leadership qualities. So a GD is all about testing your interpersonal skills.

Only Technical knowledge itself cannot meet the organisational goals. GD gives a platform to an individual to express his views regarding a fact and it also provides opportunity to the interview pannel to know the candidate's communication skills or attitude towards others. It helps to locate the deserving candidate and eliminate the rest.

GD should not be a part of campus recruitment process keeping in mind that it is not necessary that a person is good in communication skills but he/she is very good in technical skills ,which would be wrong for that person .

I think GD is not much important because it may lead to the elimination of a person who is well in technical side but not good in english. on the other hand it may lead to the selection of a person who is good in communication but lack technical knowledge.it will be better if GD is considered as a part of a level rather than keeping it as a level to cross to reach the next level.

GD is very much important for the person to know their ability of speaking in english fluently as well as to know about your aware of the environment around you. So i feel GD the best way of filtering those who don't have capabilty of communicating.

Well i don't think it should be a part of campus recruitment process. If i talk about a technical firm then they want someone who can really help to solve problems applying technical skills. Now if they want to measure it by G.D. Then how can they know whether a person is suitable or not who is shouting to proove his/her argument even though, sometimes, having lack of exact knowledge.

what technical firms need is someone providing a perfect or reliable solution if a person knows that exactly he/she will be able to express it otherwise not. why to go for G.D. which measures only how you handle situation or how confident you are. Because they actually don't need a confidence not having some basic powerful correct reasoning.

Even if you are part of technical team you will be able to express yourself if you know something or if you're team is stuck on some problems. and that's what technical firms look for.

Its really a good topic. A GD on GD. GD is necessary in the recruitment process. Because it shows how a individual can portray himself among the team. How good is he/she to work with the team and how good is he/she in helping others in the team. It really reveal ones potential in the team. It all matters how an individual present himself according the situation.
